Tire Service

Tires are the only parts of your vehicle that actually touch the road, so proper inflation, even tread wear and new tires, if necessary, are important. That’s why Complete Auto Repair Rochester, MN offers a full range of tire services.

One good way to see if you need new tires is to measure your tread depth with a penny. Place a penny with the top of Lincoln’s head facing down in the grooves. If you can see the top of Lincoln’s head, it’s most likely time to get a new set of tires. Modern tires also have “wear bars” molded into the tread that show a cross-tire pattern when the tread wears down to a designated level. By the time you see the cross-tire pattern, it’s definitely time to replace the tire.

Having the correct amount of pressure in your tires means your vehicle is getting optimal contact with the road. Properly inflated tires help improve fuel economy and wear more evenly as well. That’s why the Complete Auto Repair of Rochester, MN Tire Service includes checking the tire pressure and inflating or deflating the tires as appropriate to meet your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.

To feel comfortable on the road, it’s important to have good traction. Due to various factors, including improper alignment, tires may wear unevenly across the tread pattern. Regular tire rotations at Complete Auto Repair Rochester, MN  can help evenly distribute wear — so you get the most miles out of your tires while maximizing traction on all four wheels and helping prevent flat tires. Just another way to Leave Worry Behind.
